What are the implications of not having Indian industry representation in the National Research Foundation

Analyze the significance and consequences of the absence of Indian industrial representation in the revamped National Research Foundation boards.
  • Lack of industry representation in the National Research Foundation can hinder collaboration between research institutions and businesses, leading to a gap in translating research findings into practical applications.
  • Industries bring in practical insights, funding, and market knowledge that are important for guiding research priorities and ensuring relevance to market needs.
  • Without industrial representation, there is a risk of research outcomes being disconnected from real-world applications, potentially limiting the economic impact of the research initiatives.
  • Industrial input can also help in identifying emerging trends and technologies that have market potential, guiding the strategic direction of research efforts towards areas with high commercial value.
